He's hyperbolic, but he's not wrong. You could tell me this is a parody video from Youtube and I'd believe you. That's not good for a product that's made by a professional company.

It's true that modern western TV animation has been on a considerable decline, but I wouldn't pin it on "le evil tumblrites." Rather, it seems to be a combination of changing trends that have caused television broadcasting as a whole to fall by the wayside in favor of streaming services, which means that TV cartoons are getting increasingly small budgets; consequently, they tend to go for the cheapest available options and look at currently popular visual styles to seem relevant.

That's not to say there aren't any good non-film cartoons anymore, and some of them are in fact airing on cable TV, but in general televised animation has been on a noticeable decline. On the bright side, animated series on streaming sites like Netflix and Prime Video seem to be thriving.
